Mechanism of action studies can be used to demonstrate an inhibitor's ability to specifically inhibit viral replication via a virus-specific or host cell target. A well-characterized mechanism of action is useful in evaluating potential off-target toxicities (e.g., a viral polymerase inhibitor may...
Mechanism of action: inhibits the release of viruses from the host cell Greatest benefit if started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset [18] Commonly used agents Oral oseltamivir : preferred agent in case of hospitalization or severe influenza and in children with influenza A or B ...
Influenza B virus (IBV) causes annual influenza epidemics around the world. Here we use anin vivoplasmablast enrichment technique to isolate a human monoclonal antibody, 46B8 that neutralizes all IBVs testedin vitroand protects mice against lethal challenge of all IBVs tested when administered 72...
Viral replication steps including adsorption, endocytosis, fusion, and uncoating are required for influenza A virus invasion of host cells16. To investigate the mechanism of the neutralizing activity of iHA-100, we examined whether iHA-100 actually interferes with the adsorption of the virus to host...

The fusion of influenza virus (A/PR/8/34 strain) with PC-12 cells was monitored by a fluorescence assay, and the results were analyzed with a mass-action model which could explain and predict the kinetics of fusion. The model accounted explicitly for the reduction in the fusion rate constan...

[266]. Favipiravir has been evaluated in clinical trials and, while the exact mechanism of action requires clarification, it is thought to function through the induction of lethal mutagenesis, although limited biochemical studies have suggested that chain termination can occur after two successive ...
The influenza A virus is known to form new strains every year. These strains are the result of small variations occurring at the level of the genome, which cause the virus to change and become unfamiliar to the immune system. A new study by Maria João
